In Larry Bond's Red Dragon Rising: Shock of War, New York Times bestselling authors Larry Bond and Jim DeFelice imagine a horrifying near-future immersed in global war. Under secret orders from the President, U.S. Army Major Zeus Murphy sabotages a Chinese invasion fleet on the eve of its assault against Vietnam. But after Murphy and fellow officer Win Christian are trapped behind enemy lines, Christian's erratic behavior gives them away. The pair shoot their way out of a Chinese airport terminal, hijack a bus, then barely escape two truckloads of soldiers before disappearing into the night. Thus starts Zeus Murphy's personal odyssey in the latest installment of the Red Dragon Rising series.Back in America, President Chester Greene fails to convince Congress that the Chinese invasion of Vietnam is the first step in a plan to rule Asia--and eventually go to war with the U.S. Not even the Pentagon will support the President; top-ranking officers do everything they can to sabotage his orders.After Zeus and Christian dodge a Chinese armored division and return to Vietnam, Zeus proposes a plan to blunt the tank attack. His commanding officer orders him to stand down. Zeus disobeys in an effort to help the Vietnamese woman he's fallen in love with. Win Christian goes with him to prove he's not a coward...within hours, both men are alone with a company of Vietnamese soldiers on the border, staring down the barrels of Chinese main battle tanks as they drive on Haiphong, starting a countdown to all-out war with the West.

How much trouble can a naive religious kid from Saskatchewan with a dream of becoming a minister get into when he stumbles into radio while on the road to redemption? My Word! The Larry Updike Story is one man's journey through life as he fights to keep his feet on two different paths. The hedonism and liberty of rock and roll radio versus a deep seeded longing for knowledge and contentment is the ultimate struggle.

This book explores the visual representation of masculinity in the work of Larry Clark, using this toprompt a wider conversation about the male body in visual culture and art.Infamous for his often deeply personal depictions of teenage sexuality, subcultures and drug use, filmmaker and photographer Larry Clark also paid close attention to male identity, as revealed for the first time in this book. It explores the visual representation of masculinity in Clark’s work, revealing how his images of the male body differ from traditional depictions and function not only as objects of spectacle, but as spectacular objects in themselves.Despite being hugely influential, there has been a lack of critical attention paid to Clark’s work following his celebrated photobook Tulsa (1971). Larry Clark and Masculinity is a vital contribution to research on Clark, and visual and photography studies more broadly, where it explores the photographer’s depiction of the male subject as an object of desire. It also expands research in gender and queer studies by examining masculinity as a relational, social and intercultural construct in media and society, enhancing our understanding of Clark’s narrative and iconographic practice, while simultaneously positioning his work at the centre of the cultural discourse around male subjectivity.Drawing on an array of Clark’s work, including his films ‘Kids’ and ‘Ken Park’, as well as his photographs, Masculinity and Visual Culture offers a critical re-examination of Clark’s impact on visual culture and gender representation. By positioning Clark’s work at the centre of the cultural discourse around male subjectivity, it enhances our understanding of Clark’s narrative and iconographic practice as a means of negotiating complex subjectivities.

In a magical world far, far away...no, that's not quite true because it's not all about the magical world (which doesn't even exist; sorry to burst your bubble, but it doesn't) because there's some stuff that takes place in the non-magical world (that actually does exist although, in this case, doesn't really because it's made up places and characters so funny stuff can be made up about the magical and non-magical people and places and that) ...there was this school that taught kids how to do magic that would make them pretty famous pretending to go to this school and to premieres for the movie version and, well, you should just read the book, eh. It's pretty funny. Least ways people who reviewed it thought so. They said stuff like: "There are people who think they can write parody, people who think they've read parody, but trust me, this is parody at its best. Topham is a master. Funny and just the right touch for any 'Potter' fan." and, "Bloody brilliant!" and "So funny HRH snorted royal crusty dragons."
